(Anti-)dual-BRST symmetries: Abelian 2-form gauge theory
We derive the absolutely anticommuting (anti-)dual-BRST symmetry transformations for the appropriate Lagrangian densities of the (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory, under which, the total gauge-fixing term remains invariant. These symmetry transformations are the analogue of the co-exterior derivative of differential geometry, in the same sense, as the absolutely anticomm...
متن کاملFree Abelian 2-Form Gauge Theory: BRST Approach
We discuss various symmetry properties of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory within the framework of BecchiRouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. The present free Abelian gauge theory is endowed with a Curci-Ferrari type condition which happens to be a key signature of the 4D nonAbelian 1-form gauge theory. In fact, it is due to the above co...
متن کاملOn the (anti-)BRST invariant Lagrangian densities of the Abelian 2-form gauge theory
We demonstrate that the known off-shell nilpotent (i.e. s(a)b = 0) and anticommuting (i.e. sbsab + sabsb = 0) Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) transformations (sb) and anti-BRST transformations (sab) are the symmetry transformations of the appropriate Lagrangian densities of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory which do not explicitly incorporate a very specific cons...
متن کاملAbelian 2-form Gauge Theory: Superfield Formalism
We derive the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and antiBRST symmetry transformations for all the fields of a free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by exploiting the geometrical superfield approach to BRST formalism. The above four (3 + 1)dimensional (4D) theory is considered on a (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold parameterized by the four even spacetime variables x (with μ = 0, 1,...
متن کاملAbelian 2-form gauge theory: special features
It is shown that the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory provides an example of (i) a class of field theoretical models for the Hodge theory, and (ii) a possible candidate for the quasi-topological field theory (q-TFT). Despite many striking similarities with some of the key topological features of the two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelian (and self-interacting non-...
